A New Jersey family is now able to plan for the funeral of their 23-year-old daughter who jumped off Roth Bridge two weeks ago.

A Delaware City fireboat patrolling the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Friday found her body on the rocks near Summit Bridge, about five miles from where she jumped, according to the family and state police.

Family and friends have been searching for Amy Eskuchen since she jumped. They had asked anyone who could join to come out for one final search Nov. 18, but now that has been canceled.

Eskuchen was a student at Widener University. She was in a six-year physical therapy program and expected to graduate in May. Eskuchen dropped out of school a month before she jumped, her step-mother, Eileen Eskuchen, said.

Eileen Eskuchen thanks everyone for their help and support in the search. Now, loved ones are picking out photos and arrangements for the funeral.

"We've been searching, searching, searching, and now we are planning, planning, planning," she said.

The family created a GoFundMe to help pay for the expense of the search and any remaining funds will go toward a scholarship in Amy's name.

Eileen Eskuchen said everyone is relieved the search is over.

"Everyone is starting to grieve and feels the sadness," she said. "There had been a little glimmer of hope that she didn't do it, but that bubble has popped."
